[10:21] <Ddorda> I want to make my ubuntu into a media center, any preferred media center? Im not sure what's the best
[10:23] <bazhang> Ddorda, try in #ubuntu please
[10:23] <Ddorda> bazhang: you're right. sorry
[10:55] <topyli> nobody knows what's "the best" anyway :)
[10:57] <erUSUL> Tina Turner knows. "You are simply the Best" i allways thought the song refers to me XXDD
[11:07] <vish> !best
[11:08] <vish> Ddorda: ^  :D
[11:15] <Ddorda> vish: cool stuff you've got there :D
[13:52] <IdleOne> Ddorda: Not claiming this is the best way but http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[14:29] <Ddorda> IdleOne: thanksv :)
[14:30] <IdleOne> Ddorda: there is also MediaTomb in the repos you can take a look at
[14:30] <IdleOne> and you are welcome
[14:34] <Ddorda> IdleOne: Ill have a look. thanks again :)
[14:34] <IdleOne> sure thing
[21:12] <sheats> Hi!   I have a little project I've been working on: http://ircanswers.com/  I have been logging content in #ubuntu for a month or so http://ircanswers.com/ubuntu/ but just realized today that I need to get permission to do so first.
[21:13] <sheats> Who can I contact to ask permission?
[21:19] <IdleOne> sheats: the IRC council
[21:19] <IdleOne> Ubuntu IRC council that is
[21:19] <sheats> IdleOne: how do I contact them?
[21:21] <IdleOne> mailing list, looking for a link gimme a minute
[21:23] <IdleOne> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-irc I believe is correct
[21:26] <marienz> sheats: hi there
[21:26] <sheats> hi
[21:26] <sheats> thanks IdleOne
[21:26] <IdleOne> yup
[21:26] <sheats> marienz: are you the one who emailed me?
[21:27] <marienz> sheats: if you've reconfigured your bot to only join channels you've got permission for I'll unban it network-wide.
[21:27] <marienz> yes, that was me
[21:27] <sheats> yup, it's done
[21:27] <sheats> sorry about that -- like i said, i didn't realize it was a policy
[21:27] <marienz> sheats: done, thanks for cooperating :)
[21:28] <IdleOne> sheats: Still need to get permission from IRCC
[21:28] <IdleOne> :)
[21:28] <sheats> yup, will do
[21:28] <IdleOne> ok.
[21:29] <sheats> IdleOne: do you know if there are any conditions or reasons they may allow or reject?
[21:29] <IdleOne> sheats: I won't presume to speak for them
[21:29] <sheats> IdleOne: ok, np
[21:29] <IdleOne> I know that they are aware of the situation
[21:30] <IdleOne> now it is between you and them :)
[21:30] <marienz> sheats: see also http://blog.freenode.net/2007/12/more-blogging-about-logging/ , this is a bit deja-vu-like for some of us
[21:30] <marienz> sheats: and http://blog.freenode.net/2007/12/blogging-about-logging/ preceding it
[21:31] <sheats> ah, ok -- thanks
[21:32] <IdleOne> catchy title for a blog post
[21:32] <IdleOne> rhymes and I like that
[21:32] <IdleOne> :)
[21:35] <sheats> guess I should have done a little more research on the idea :)
[21:36] <IdleOne> sheats: I think the issue is more what is going to be done with the content and is Ubuntu ok with that.
[21:37] <erUSUL> good now i can have fun looking for myself in irseek
[21:37] <IdleOne> also having a logbot in the channel not knowing about it
[21:38] <sheats> yup, it makes sense
[21:38] <sheats> one thing i've done and will do a better job at is masking the nicknames
[21:38] <sheats> my only goal is to get good content out there so when i search for a question that has already been answered i'll find it
[21:38] <sheats> like stackoverflow.com
[21:40] <marienz> sheats: if I were you I'd try to offer services back to the channels you index, like a way to conveniently link to certain answers from irc
[21:40] <marienz> sheats: many channels already run a factoid bot to cover frequently answered questions, this would be similar.
[21:41] <erUSUL> marienz: sheats if irseek were allowed i do not see why yours wouldn't ...
[21:41] <m4v> irseek is allowed?
[21:42] <nhandler> m4v: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/IRSeekDiscussion
[21:42] <sheats> marienz: yes, for sure -- i had thought of that and think that's a great idea
[21:42] <erUSUL> back in the day it was allowed
[21:43]  * erUSUL was already around here that "back in the day" ;)
[21:47] <nhandler> IdleOne: FYI, the IRC Council ML is irc-council@   (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/irc-council)
[21:47] <IdleOne> nhandler: thanks
[21:47] <IdleOne> sheats: read what nhandler just said
[21:48] <sheats> IdleOne: thanks
